Slang by Platform
Which terms come from which platform and how fast they cross over, because the platform predicts both the vocabulary and the age of the speaker.
TikTok produces terms like rizz, delulu and mid that cross over within days to an 11 to 24 audience, while YouTube produces skibidi and fanum tax for a younger group — the platform predicts both the vocabulary and the age.
